Run For My Heroes
Join us to run and raise money to protect the frontline healthcare workers who protect us.
My mission this September.
Our healthcare heroes have sacrificed so much to keep all of us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, healthcare workers on the frontlines feel anxious about being prepared for a potential second wave, especially those working at underserved facilities.
That’s why I’m honored to team up with Prehab to join their virtual races and raise money on behalf of PPE Relief Initiative (PRI), a wonderful grassroots team that works hard to protect our frontline heroes in New York & New Jersey with their one-of-a-kind PPE Supply Kits.
I’m grateful that I can use my love for running to shine a light on causes that I care about. I invite you to join our journey to champion and protect our frontline healthcare workers!

Here’s what healthcare workers are saying.
“I’m very thankful to you guys for taking the time to donate to us healthcare workers. As a nurse, I really appreciate this. We know that there’s going to be an uptick, and I’m also seeing an uptick in my hospital. So thank you guys so much!”
— Damian S., ICU Nurse
“Support like this for the healthcare community gives us strength to push through, especially when things do not always look the brightest. Knowing that a total stranger cares enough to put these supply kits together is a powerful thing.”
— Jerrybel S., Nurse
“The most heartwarming thing is that there are people out there who see us. Ultimately, one of the big questions is: when healthcare workers are taking care of other people, who is taking care of them? So it feels like we are being taken care of. It gives me hope.”
— KP Mendoza, ICU Nurse

A word from the team
“The impact of a PPE Supply Kit goes beyond a single healthcare worker. It helps them serve hundreds of patients without fear for their safety, and assuages the anxieties of their children and loved ones when they return home after work. We are so excited to be partnering with Prehab & Coach Kai.”
— Gary R.
Co-Founder of PPE Relief Initiative
“Our virtual runs have three pillars: Get Fit + Give Thanks + Inspire. Some of our runners have already dedicated their races to healthcare heroes and are looking for more opportunities to continue to honor them. The running community is fantastic at coming together to amplify important causes. We are excited about the direct impact PRI has on individuals and families.”
— Julia G.
Founder of Run For My Hero
“At Prehab, we are all about health and safety, especially during COVID. One of the best things people can do to strengthen their immune systems is to exercise. With gyms closed or having to follow new regulations, running has become a fast-growing sport that we are proud to support. Keep it safe runners! Why rehab when you can prehab?”
— Alex G.
Founder of Prehab
